Night Swimming

12"x24"x1.5" enaustic and oil paint, and mixed media on cradled birch bark
 
The moon is low tonight
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
Of recklessness and water
These things, they go away
Replaced by everyday
Nightswimming, remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
 
-R.E.M.
